e Ms. Ehrman encouraged fellow councilors to support this proposal, affirming its importance to the community. She added that the child care issue is a major component, and many goals are being achieved in this one project. Mr. Bennett supported Ms. Ehrman's position and added that the child care center must be a resource not only for the neighborhood but for low-income families as well. Mr. Green agreed that this is probably the best investment ever made in this community. Ms Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Boles, to direct the City Manager to place the proceeds of selling the Lincoln School site to Lorig Associates, Inc., ($125,000) into a special revenue fund and to consider allocation of up to an additional $75,000 to that special revenue fund in the FY91 Budget. All proceeds in that special revenue fund will be dedicated to construction, maintenance, and operation of the following facilities on the Lincoln School site: 1) playground, 2) community garden, 3) neighborhood center, and 4) child care center. The motion passed unanimously, 6:0. Mr. Gleason said that priority allocation for funds should be considered as follows: 1) relocation of the Italianate home to serve as the neighborhood center, 2) child care facility, 3) completion of rehabilitation of the neighborhood center, 4) community gardens, and 5) playground. Ms. Schue clarified that the City is not committed to remodeling the current e annex building for the child care center. If it is financially more feasible to build a new structure than to remodel the current structure, that will be done. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to authorize the City Manager to enter into a pre-development agreement with Lorig Associates, Inc., for redevelopment of the Lincoln School property as outlined. (The council took a five-minute recess. Councilor Schue assumed the position of chair.) V. ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE EUGENE HOSPITAL AUTHORITY Ms. Schue said that the public hearing regarding the establishment of the Eugene Hospital Authority was held at the October 9 council meeting, at which time the motion for first reading was made. The council decided to postpone this issue until today. Warren Wong, Finance Division, reported on the issue. In response to earlier discussion about how it might be possible to influence Sacred Heart Hospital in certain practices, Mr. Wong said that it is possible to stipulate this in a loan agreement between the hospital and the authority. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 11, 1989 Page 6
